Fail2ban on Dietpi

Server

Expected behaviour

Hello Everyone!
I’m looking for help to configure Fail2Ban on my dietpi-owncloud server.
I’ve installed ownCloud directly from dietpi, and everything is working well.
I would like to improve security with the help of fail2ban.
I’ve googled a lot, made some tries, but i’m still not able to “ban myself”.
I’ve installed Fail2ban directly from dietpi.
I’m colpletely a noob, so please, be patient…
I’ve readed a lot of tutorial, copi jail.conf to jail.local, same thing the config file and so on…
But with no results, so i’ve unistalled everything and made a brand new installation.
I like to work in “clean spaces”.

Hi Fabio,

while I cannot help you with the fail2ban setup (did you search this forum for fail2ban?) I can suggest the Brute-Force Protection app - I guess this does what you are trying to accomplish.

Hi,

I’m using fail2ban too, but on a regular x64 Ubuntu for my owncloud.
I’ve follow this tutorial


It works for me to prevent bruteforce attacks. I even simplified the regex for my case. I use fail2ban for my sshd service too.
However, I’ve not seen any mention of a jail.local file to manipulate.

Hope it helps !
